Buttercup Laces

by N J Thornton   Sep 17, 2006


Ashen shoes with
buttercup laces; untied.
In a skip of joyous cheeks
and a kin coloured kite.
The floor rose with fond eyes
and kissed a knee, or two.

The kiss was unrequited,
chased by abraded skin as the
sensation melted, into droplets.
In accord, the kite, (ruby as the knees)
had a broken thread,
and the wind began to blow.

Innocent sighs plead a return
as glistening eyes, peer high,
and see red upon a branch.
A dainty tickle with laces; tied,
and a stretch to the leaves,
sees the wind hush a smile.

Ashen shoes with
buttercup laces; neatly tied.
In a skip with a tight grip
and a tattered, cherished, kite.
Mother's hand gave a touch
and kissed the kite, in glee.
